    Hello all I'm having issues with my 2007 Honda Civic hybrid 210,000 miles. Alright to start I bought the car a couple weeks ago, probably mid February.

  3. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi everyone, I have done my best to seek out this info - perhaps these two issues are related - perhaps not. My guess is they are as IMA light and Check engine came on at the same time, two minutes into driving - having not driven the car for three days - noting also that the temperatures were...

    Hi everyone! Last night I was driving on the highway, probably cruising downhill and then my dash lights up with Check IMA and the CEL came on as well. I'm going to take it to AutoZone to run the codes to see what's going on. I'm really hoping it's not the IMA battery. Some background info...

    Hi Everybody, First post on the forums here. I own a 2010 Insight. Received a code p1448 (fan module problem). Part number 1J816-RMX-003. I already purchased the replacement part. I also read that sometimes the 12v battery is the culprit, but it's been diagnosed and it's good. Also, the duct...

  8. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    The check engine light came on. Code pulled as P0420. They reset it to make sure it wasn't an error. Came back on. My gas mileage has dropped 1MPG over the last few months. I was told I'd need to replace the cat. The repair guy said I could try the "laquer Thinner" technique by mixing it...
  9. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I have a 2002 Silver Insight with ~230,000 miles on it. It seems that the batteries (original) are finally giving in. I live in Upstate NY near Rochester. For the last several months I have been getting the check engine light to come on when I drive X miles with charge below Y%. That was ok...
  10. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I wanted to pass this along to those who have a 10-yr-old (+) Insight. Mine is 13 years old. For over a year, I have battled with check-engine lights, brake light, battery light, and IMA light - coming on whenever and wherever they want to. Also, my IMA battery would just DROP its electrical...
  11. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I have a 2006 Insight with about 70K miles. The IMA and check engine light came on today. My code reader indicated P01715, and when I attempted to reset the check engine light it only stayed off for about 1 second. I have never seen an OBD code of more than four digits, and a google search...

    I recently bought a 2000 honda insight. After driving 150 miles the IMA light and check engine light both came on. (I worked out a deal with the guy and he gave me some money back). Anyway I took it to a honda dealer and they told me it would be over $7000 to fix it because not only is the...

    Anyone know a good repair shop for insights in Santa Rosa, CA, besides the dealer? Sebastopol would be even better. Thanks

    I just bought a 2001 insight with 66200 miles on it, drove it home (450 miles) and everything seemed to be fine. I was on another 100 mile trip the next day, I had noticed that between 1800 and 2200 RPMs the car would studder a bit. On my way home the CEL came on I checked the codes and it...
